Now entering its 14th edition, Starlite Festival 2025 is set to be one of its most ambitious seasons yet. Taking place from June 13th to August 29th, there will be almost three months of spectacular concerts, exclusive soirées, and unforgettable evenings. Set against the iconic La Concha mountain above Marbella, the festival has evolved into one of Europe’s most exclusive and immersive cultural events.
Established in 2012, the yearly festival has been taking place in the spectacular open-air venue of La Cantera de Nagüeles, a former quarry turned amphitheater. Throughout the Summer, the grounds feature fabulous pop-up restaurants, a few boutique clothes shops and a central dance floor set on two levels with cocktail bars on either side, where dancers and renowned DJs get the party started, and continue into the night after the main event.
The main stage area is even more impressive, with its rugged cliff-cut backdrop reaching 60 metres high, and an auditorium that seats 3,500 people. The combination of natural acoustics that fill the open sky, and passion-fuelled performances create a uniquely intimate and exhilarating atmosphere where music legends and the luxury of Marbella life converge.
And even if there’s no particular artist you want to go see, you can still enter the festival for free, either for an evening meal at one of the 5 gourmet restaurants, or simply to experience this entirely unique place to party in Marbella. The festival offers free admission to its lounge area from 8 pm until midnight, and you can also purchase individual tickets for DJ sessions after the concerts.
What to look forward too
The variety of artists that Starlite provides is what makes it so popular. With a track record of hosting global legends, the festival also champions Spanish talent, pairing international prestige with national pride. This year, legends such as Camila Cabello, Will Smith, Marc Anthony and Duran Duran are just some of the big names that will be gracing the stage.
